On Saturday we celebrated Owen's 1st birthday with 48 of our closest friends and family. I was really pleased with how everything turned out and especially pleased with how excited Owen seemed. I think he had a wonderful time and by all means was spoiled with gifts and attention (as any one year old should be.)
The theme for his party was monkey's. We had a monkey cake made for all the guests and a "destruction" cake for the birthday boy. We also had Chunky Monkey ice cream,
Chocolate Monkey trail mix (w/banana chips, coconut, and chocolate), there were even monkey themed favor bags with a monkey bath
squirter for each of the little kids.

Here is the birthday boy just after he made his debut....

and eating his special cake...

and modeling his new puppy dog hat...

all his gifts...

attempting to open them himself...

and finally wondering where everyone went...

His actual birthday is Wednesday, so we will be celebrating with his
Kindermusik class and later we will be having dinner with Julie and anyone else that would like to join us.
